Tony Khan Claims Hardcore Moment Grew AEW
In a recent interview, Tony Khan defended one of the gruesome spots in AEW history.
On the March 19 edition of Dynamite, Jon Moxley successfully defended the AEW World Championship against Cope in a wild Street Fight. During the match, Moxley took a Suplex onto a bat covered in nails, which became embedded in his back. Immediately after the move, Wheeler Yuta was shown trying, and failing, to remove the bat from Moxley’s skin.
While the spot divided fans online, Khan said it increased interest in AEW from non-wrestling fans.
